Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  hi kimmie first off.....congratulations on your surgery date. YOUR going to be a 2006 Junebug...i am a 2005. My surgeon also required pre op weight loss...and what i did was follow a STRICT ATKINS induction ...why i choose that is its hight protein lo carb eating which is very much like the rules of eating post op. I did that and used my favorite protein shake during this time to loose my needed pre op weight loss. If you need information on doing a clean atkins induction..... you can visit their website at www.atkins.com or get the atkins book......Its only a suggestion and what worked rapidly for me. MY surgeon is very strict on this requirement and i lost my needed weight. I feel doing that atkins if your carb addicted during the induction you will suffer from any withdrawals and i think the more you rid pre op the easier post op care will be. GOOD LUCK and finding something for your pre op weight loss is personl and this is only a suggestion on what i used to help. YOU will easily loose 10 or more pounds on a legal induction. If you need more info on atkins feel free to PM me. LOOK forward to getting to know you more lisa

| Super Moderator  | Kimmy, congratulations on your surgery date!! Hope your pre-op diet goes well and you can lose the weight your surgeon wants you to. It will make the surgery less dangerous, and will help ease you into the very regulated eating you will have to do for a few months post op. Good luck on the new leg of your journey!
